“ An overhead TV displays one of THE most efficient menus I've ever seen for a restaurant that focuses on its basics. I knew exactly what I wanted and I knew exactly how to order it when my turn came up in line. Starbucks & McDonald's should send spies to analyze that menu design! Oh, and the "Chicken Pepper Steak w/ rice & black beans" is a definite winner. I chose to eat in and I watched a lot of folks take out. ”
“ Very casual dining in with counter service. Very little festoonery. But the food is absolutely delicious. We had the chicken soup and a classic Cuban sandwich. In a bigger city there would be a line out the door and down the block. We will be stopping in Clewiston again for sure. ”
“ I love this little spot. My husband and I drive over from Fort Lauderdale once a month. The guava and cheese pastries are amazing. They bake them fresh there I always get a dozen to take with me. My husband loves the pulled pork and I love me a midnight sandwich. It’s worth the drive. Whenever we go to our vacation home in Lakeland we purposely take US27 to stop by to get a Cuban sandwich and pastries. Looking forward to my upcoming visit ”
“ We ordered take out yesterday and it was delicious! I recommend trying the Arroz Congri. It’s great by itself or pairs well with Ropa vieja, buttered bread & mojo! The Cuban sandwich is also a good choice. Would definitely recommend. ”
“ Pork tastes amazingly good. My medianoche was really good packed with meat, only thing it was oozing mayo but other than that really good. Tamales were good. They also have ice cream cones. P.S. we were just passing through and ordered a coffee for our long drive, sat down to eat and they got busy too. Forgot our coffee about 10 miles down the road. ”
